Sort by hexadecimal order

Post by nikov »

Hi,

My files are named hexadecimally like this:
00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, 10...

And I want Everything 1.5a to sort files in the hexadecimal order but instead Everything 1.5a sorts like this:
00, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10...

Everything 1.4 used to do this.

How can I achieve this with Everything 1.5a? I have searched the Everything-1.5a.ini file for this setting...

I have read this is due to introducing natural sort. But sometime this seems like more unnatural. :)

Thank you for your consideration.
Cheers.

I have put on my TODO list to add an option to disable natural sort.

Thank you for your suggestion.



For now, please try including the following in your search:

column-a:=HEX2DEC($name:) sort:column-a
